Pause...
Ponder... Remember...
Honor...
From these honored aviators, Marines and Sailors - those departed and the few left with us, we draw our heritage...our ethos.
May they and their actions this day never be forgotten. And from their stand, may we evermore draw strength.

I have the privilege of knowing Harry Ferrier who was in Torpedo 8 and one of the two survivors of the six TBF's which launched from Midway Island on June 4, 1942. I had the honor of helping Harry put together a presentation of his experience.
I have made a Blog with first hand accounts of the flight from Harry and Bert Earnest, his pilot, as well as some pictures at:

It is a thrilling account.
